In her memoir, An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison explores mood and madness, the terror and turmoil of living with mental illness. We are looking for work from the perspective of those with unquiet minds, their loved ones and professional healers – work that encompasses the experience of living and wrestling with all manner of inner demons, treatment, relationships, social stigma and more.
This reading is open to women and non-binary poets. Send us your best.
Selections will be made with an eye to assembling a program that represents a diversity of poets, styles, and approaches to the theme.
Selected poets MUST be available to read in person.. Please send 4 – 6 poems on the theme ALONG WITH a 50 to 75 word bio, IN THE BODY OF AN E-MAIL to:
treehouse523ATsbcglobalDOTnet (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )
Submissions must be received by June 14, 12:01 a.m. We will make every effort to inform those chosen of our decision by June 19. Although we can't afford to pay readers, this is a great opportunity to sell books and read with other talented people in a very special environment.
If you know of someone whose work might fit here, please spread the word!
